Cyclobenzaprine, sold under several brand names including, historically, Flexeril, is a muscle relaxer used for muscle spasms from musculoskeletal conditions of sudden onset.[5] It is not useful in cerebral palsy.[5] It is taken by mouth.[5]
Common side effects include headache, feeling tired, dizziness, and dry mouth.[5] Serious side effects may include an irregular heartbeat.[5] There is no evidence of harm in pregnancy, but it has not been well studied in this population.[5] It must not be used with an MAO inhibitor.[5] How it works is unclear.[5]
Cyclobenzaprine was approved for medical use in the United States in 1977.[5] It is available by prescription as a generic medication.[5] In 2021, it was the 45th most commonly prescribed medication in the United States, with more than 15million prescriptions.[6][7] It was not available in the United Kingdom as of 2012.[8]
